Many students who enroll in a first course in linear algebra major in STEM disciplines other than mathematics. Teachers who serve such students may find it difficult to provide authentic problems from these broader areas that ignite students' interest in linear algebra. In this paper, we highlight an interdisciplinary learning activity that…

Traditional commercial textbooks used in postsecondary courses are often problematic due to their rigidity, tendency to mirror the dominant culture, and the substantial cost imposed upon students (Junkala et al., 2022; Lambert & Funk, 2022; Wu, 2022). Although replacing these texts with open educational resources (OER) can facilitate more…

The escalating cost of textbooks presents a considerable barrier for students in higher education. Open educational resources (OER) have emerged as a viable solution to the problem, offering freely available learning materials that can potentially alleviate the financial burden on students and enhance their academic success. OER not only reduces…
